INTRODUCTION The intraosseous lipoma is the most common lipogenous lesion of bone. Intraosseous lipoma is found most frequently in the calcaneus and intertrochanteric region of the proximal femur. The symptoms may result from remodeling of bone due to expansion, or due to intralesional ischemia, noted to be a common consequence of a longstanding calcaneal intraosseous lipoma [1-4]. Intraosseous...

INTRODUCTION Obtaining vascular access is of paramount importance in trauma care. When peripheral venous access is indicated but cannot be obtained, the intraosseous route represents an alternative. The Bone Injection Gun (BIG) is the device used for intraosseous access by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). The purpose of this study is to assess the success rate of intraosseous access using this ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Difficulties to establish a venous access may also occur in routine pediatric anesthesia and lead to hazardous situations. Intraosseous infusion is a well tolerated and reliable but rarely used alternative technique in this setting. RECENT FINDINGS According to recent surveys, severe complications of intraosseous infusion stay a rare event. Minor complications and problems i...

High levels of uric acid cause accumulation of monosodium urate crystals. This formation of masses is called tophus. Intraosseous tophus deposits are rare, even for patients with gout. We report an unusual case of intraosseous tophus deposits in the os trigonum. The patient presented with ankle pain with no previous history of gout. On examination, tenderness on the posterior aspect of his ankl...

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of the jaw occurring most commonly in mandibular ramus molar area with male predilection. Peripheral KCOTs are very uncommon. Here we report a case of keratocyst in buccal mucosa in a 55 years old female patient, the diagnosis of which was based on subjective histological evaluation and further confirmed by immunohistochemi...

schwannoma(neurilemmoma) is a benign tumor originates from schwann cells. ancient (degenerated) schwannoma is a long-standing schwannoma with degenerative changes. head and neck region is one of the most common sites for nerve sheath tumors but intraosseous schwannoma is rare. the mandible is the most common site of occurrence for this lesion. we report a rare case of intraosseous ancient schwa...

Primary intraosseous odontogenic squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare tumor. The incidence is low, and approximately 200 cases are reported in literature. The etiology is associated with the malignant degeneration of embryological remains. Differential diagnosis includes alveolar carcinomas, jaw metastases from other locations, odontogenic tumors, and tumors of the maxillary sinus. Howeve...

A case of spinal intraosseous schwannoma (SIS) in the lumbar vertebra is reported. Clinical and radiologic characteristics of 16 reported cases of SIS were reviewed. SIS can be a rare differential diagnosis for intraosseous tumors.

BACKGROUND Lipoma is the most common benign tumour of the human body, being intraosseous involvement very rare. Just 1 to 4% of all cases of lipoma are located in the oral cavity, only 0.1% being intraosseous. The jaw is its most uncommon bone location. Etiology of intraosseous lipoma (IOL) is unknown, although several theories have been proposed. Usually asymptomatic, the symptoms, when presen...
